Chapter 224 Telegram of Authorization

The partition of India and Pakistan was a foregone conclusion unless Nehru could find a stronger mind to suppress the discord between the two religions.

This assumes, of course, that Ali Jinnah is safe and sound!

History is the hero makes the times, or the times make the hero, this is a very macroscopic problem, Allen Wilson a mortal is not able to answer, but can make some tactical modifications.

Now Jinnah is still Jinnah, and the Allen Wilson opposite him is now Nehru, and Nehru is Allen Wilson.

Ali Jinnah’s scheming for the aftermath of the partition could be judged to be feasible or not by Alan Wilson’s answers.

After the first point raised by Arizona, that is, after the clear partition, Allen Wilson gave a very sincere reply, “Once India and Pakistan become two countries, they will certainly turn against each other. The existence of British India only suppressed the hatred of the two religions, and in all fairness, I personally think that Hinduism is the most backward religion in the world. But after partition, with the power of Pakistan, it would never be able to stand up to India, the population difference is too great.”

Alan Wilson can find countless examples, but the most familiar or Chinese history, similar to the history of India’s crushing of Pakistan, is the war between my Qing Dynasty and the Jungian Empire when the world did not yet have an industrial revolution.

If you just look at the map, the Qing dynasty 13 million square kilometers, half of the area was once ruled by the Junggar Empire, just look at the map is absolutely evenly matched.

In fact, in a short period of time, it is indeed evenly matched, encountered Britain before the biggest defeat and the battle of Tong Po, the Qing army killed 10,000 people, which is the face of the Europeans before the Qing army’s biggest defeat.

Do not look at the number of casualties is not small, but in fact it is the first battle after the establishment of the Qing dynasty can be killed ten thousand people.

Being able to take out 10,000 people from the Qing army, which fought like big kids against anyone within East Asia, proved the fighting strength of the Jungian Empire.

But the Qing Dynasty has a huge reserve of manpower, not enough flag people will be replaced by Chinese, Junggar dead can be Mongols. The further back the more Junggar is not a match for the Qing army.

“Throughout history, the fighting power of the Hindus is not as strong as the Chinese as Mr. Allen said.” Ali Jinnah said that using the example of East Asia to generalize the subcontinent was not appropriate.

“I should thank you on behalf of the Chinese.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth seriously, at least people are more honest than those in the Congress Party, “But then, the reasoning is the same, not to mention that the Hindus are several times the size of your population, the advantage of resources Mr. Jinnah should also have some understanding of, as well as the scale of the industry, it can be said that anything that can be measured in terms of metrics, the Congress Party has the advantage. Of course, the weaker nations like to blow off culture, and something like culture that can’t be divided into highs and lows can be ignored with eyes closed to objective laws.”

“Shall I, shall I show Mr. Jinnah the distribution of the Viceroy’s resource reserves and industrial capacity?”

Ali Jinnah was silent, knowing in his heart that the historically weak past of the Hindus could at best give a psychological advantage to the Pacifists, but was virtually useless under the crushing data in all areas.

This is a sign that the PML-N leaders recognize that India’s advantage over Pakistan, if partition succeeds, is crushing.

Being able to recognize the weakness of their side allowed the conversation to continue, followed by a few powder kegs.

Without mentioning Hyderabad or the other Turkish states, Alan Wilson singled out Kashmir and asked, “How does Pakistan feel about the fact that ninety percent of Kashmir’s population is pacifist, but the Maharaja is a Hindu.”

“Independence or annexation to Pakistan, no matter how you look at it, respecting public opinion Kashmir should not be part of India.” Ali Jinnah thought for a moment and then gave a decisive answer.

“Unfortunately then Nehru’s home state.” Alan Wilson shook his head lovingly, “If Mr. Jinnah thought that the Congress Party was capable of reasoning, he should have joined the Congress Party in calling for the British to leave by now. What has gone wrong here? There must be something wrong or Mr. Jinnah would not have quit the Congress Party.”

“Anyway, I’m Nehru and I’m surely not going to give up my homeland!” This remark blocked Ali Jinnah’s attempts to retort in his throat, and what the style of the Congress Party was, Ali Jinnah would have known very well.

Subsequently Alan Wilson also said that once the war started, the newborn Pakistan and India will certainly become enemy countries because of the war. Down the road among the time will be in the military constantly invested, because India’s base is much more powerful than Pakistan, long-term arms race under the Pakistan will not be able to withstand.

“Mr. Allen, is it for me to give up my claim of independent statehood?” Ali Jinnah asked back with a sour face, suspecting that Allen Wilson was a lobbyist for the Congress Party.

“Of course not, but in such a major matter, it is always necessary to consider the worst perspective.” Alan Wilson vehemently denied Ali Jinnah’s speculation that the Congress Party was too stingy, and that if it took out a certain amount of gold, at least more than what Ali Khan had given, he personally wouldn’t mind being a lobbyist for once, and that it would surely fail anyway.

He just came over to remind that it is better for Pakistan to gather a consensus first and get ready for war. Don’t look ahead when the time comes, although this kind of advance reminder is just better than nothing, at most let the Indian army die a little more. It can’t change the gap between the national power of India and Pakistan, but who let Alan Wilson is a warm-hearted person, who can’t bear the people of the subcontinent to fall into the pit, so he dug the pit a little bigger.

When the country is going downhill, someone needs to step up and step on the gas, and he is that person.

Listening to Alan Wilson, all the way from how he treated Tupang, how he viewed Kashmir, to the Congress party’s stance and history, Ali Jinnah had to admit that Alan Wilson’s words were unbelievably true, and playing Nehru, it was almost as if the real Nehru was so obnoxious.

“What if it was Patel who was there, he seemed even tougher.” Alan Wilson’s words changed, “Gandhi is a respectable person, he played the saint’s profession impeccably, but he did not have the ability to rule the country. More knowledge a mentor’s role.”

“Patel is even more obnoxious.” Ali Jinnah was silent for a moment, a flicker of disgust on his face.

“I hope in principle that Pakistan will be safe, but it is not a great hope, and I am sure Mr. Jinnah can understand that if you can have a preparation in mind to face war, perhaps the result will be satisfactory.”

The job of stirring up trouble was done, Allen Wilson was not going to stay here much longer, in fact it could not be considered stirring up trouble, it was just a precautionary reaction based on real history, of course there was not much use except to make the war more balanced, that’s all.

“Kashmir!” Arizona didn’t even know when Alan Wilson had left, but sat alone in his chair, pondering how to break the situation.

If a place where ninety percent are pacifists can’t be fought for, it will undoubtedly be a shame for the newborn Pakistan, and Ali Jinnah, who was seriously thinking hard, even forgot to ask why the British Empire couldn’t have just assigned Kashmir to Pakistan.

At the Viceroyalty of India, a farewell reception was being held in the evening, and Sir Barron had organized the staff of the Viceroyalty to pay tribute to Viceroy Wavell for his outstanding services in the post of Viceroy of British India.

It was a reception that Alan Wilson had invited Vivien Leigh to attend under false pretenses, knowing that the international movie queen, who was supposed to be suffering from depression, loved such occasions.

In fact, it is also true, since the arrival of British India, Vivien Leigh’s depression is much better. Especially after getting to know Alan Wilson, the commissioner’s assistant who was there to help, had played a huge part in it.

From this point of view, Oliver should all be grateful to Alan Wilson, who made Vivien Leigh open her heart and become radiant again.

“Enjoying the occasion? Ms. Vivian.” Alan Wilson inquired with a moralistic look and in a tone that we are not familiar with, “This should be an occasion you are more familiar with.”

“It’s such a rare occasion since I came to British India. Always too busy to straighten up!” Fei Wenli elegantly pinched her wine glass, a pair of charming eyes glanced at Alan Wilson for a moment, and said in a double entendre, “This is the high society of British India, right?”

“To the extent that I cannot say so, we uphold a humble heart and serve the interests of the empire, this kind of reception is very rare.” Alan Wilson’s face was stunned, signaling the demon queen in front of him not to go too far and pay attention to the occasion.

When the two men were talking, Governor Weevil wearing military uniforms on stage to deliver a speech, the hall among the civil servants have stopped talking to listen quietly, is nothing more than a review of the course of work in British India, as well as said that the body wounded in the war, is really unable to fulfill the obligations of the Governor General, and had no choice but to submit a letter of resignation.

At the end of the Governor-General Wavell, expressed his thanks to the officers of the Governor-General’s House, and then expressed the opinion that the new Governor-General would soon take up his duties, and that in the meantime British India was in your hands, and so on and so forth.

Sir Barron then made a speech in which he expressed his admiration for Governor Wavell’s services during the war. The words were touching and at the same time impeccable, and the civil servants at the whole reception were grave, suppressing the joy in their hearts, and wishing to hasten …… the departure of the Governor General.

Just in British India to carry on to the stage of fondness at the same time, in the Mediterranean Fleet service of General Mountbatten, but with a gleeful mood to pack their bags, Whitehall telegrams among the affirmation of his own in doing the Southeast Asia Theater of Operations Commander of the time of the merits, and said that may be in the near future to its decoration.

Finally politely expressed whether the military affairs are busy, if there is time, then come back to the matter of the award of honors.

Than British India’s fondness, Mountbatten almost immediately called back to say that he would go back immediately and embarked on a journey back to London.
